The Cousin Is About to Marry，The Abstinent Young Lord Loses Control-Chapter 229 - 228: The Rest of Our Lives

The camp was extremely quiet.

Only the sound of their breathing could be heard.

Mingzhu remembered the details at the manor, where they wouldn’t let her see the wind.

Wouldn’t let her bathe or wash her hair.

The meals were those commonly eaten by others during confinement...

At the time, she thought it was because she was injured, that they were so strict in restraining her.

Looking back now, for such minor injuries, was there any need to make such a fuss?

Placing her hand on her abdomen, Mingzhu’s breath suddenly became chaotic.

Here, there had once been a child.

But he quietly vanished, never having a chance to see this world.

And she, his mother, had forgotten him.

If Xie Yunzhen hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t have even known of his existence.

Mingzhu’s expression turned blank, and tears continuously flowed from her eyes.

Even without memories, her instincts remained.

He was the child connected by her bloodline; she couldn’t be indifferent.

Xie Yunzhen’s heart felt even more pain as he leaned down to embrace Mingzhu, "It’s my fault, I didn’t protect you."

Mingzhu could initially control her emotions, but once he comforted her, the feeling of pain could no longer be suppressed.

Tremblingly, she asked, "Is he really gone?"

Xie Yunzhen also hoped the child was still there, but the truth lay before them, leaving no room for self-deception.

Silence was the most straightforward answer.

Mingzhu’s tears soaked Xie Yunzhen’s lapel, turning into a blade that pierced his heart precisely.

Before he met Mingzhu, Xie Yunzhen always shed blood but never tears.

Later, for her, he had also once shed tears.

At this moment, there was a second person who made Xie Yunzhen cry.

Although they hadn’t met yet, it was the child loved one conceived for him.

He really loved that child.

Looked forward to meeting him.

But tragedy struck once again.

Xie Yunzhen held Mingzhu tightly; at this moment, he could only comfort himself that at least Mingzhu was fine.

Otherwise, he would fall into hell again.

Continuously kissing Mingzhu’s forehead, he used this way to soothe her.

"I will avenge the child; I won’t let you both suffer in vain."

Xie Yunzhen spoke calmly, but the resentment in his body couldn’t be hidden.

Not just the Xiao Family, even the one in the Imperial Palace had to pay the corresponding price.

Don’t think that by arranging doctors for Mingzhu and restoring her health, his evil deeds could be erased.

Hit once, then give a sweet date, this trick doesn’t work on Xie Yunzhen!

Standing at the pinnacle of power doesn’t mean the new emperor can act unscrupulously.

Xie Yunzhen could stand solid in the court not because of his status as a companion reader to the Crown Prince.

Airing grievances for Mingzhu was not just talk.

From childhood experiences, Mingzhu had developed the habit, no matter how sad she was, she only cried softly.

Her thin shoulders trembled slightly, fragile to the touch.

The more Mingzhu suppressed her emotions, the more regretful Xie Yunzhen felt.

There was a faint sense of regret; he should have kept his cool and revealed the truth after a while.

At least to let her recuperate.

She had traveled so far and lost so much weight.

If a bad mood delayed her recovery, when could she regain her vitality?

Taking a deep breath, Xie Yunzhen held her in his lap, pulled over the blanket, and wrapped Mingzhu’s body.

Like soothing a child, he gently rocked her.

"Our child was certainly like you, a little cotton jacket; if he knew his mother was crying, he would definitely follow and cry."

Mingzhu was not comforted; instead, she cried out loud.

Their child did not even have the chance to cry!

Xie Yunzhen was at a loss, finally saying, "I’ll go deal with the Xiao Family right away!"

New hatred and old resentment.

If Xiao Family members don’t pay blood debts, he’d betray his child, Mingzhu, and even his father-in-law!

Xie Yunzhen’s expression was serious, not looking as if he were joking.

After speaking, he tucked Mingzhu back into the blanket.

Mingzhu cried with blurry eyes, relying only on instinct, she clutched his wrist.

"Don’t be impulsive."

In this world, she didn’t have many relatives in the first place.

Apart from her aunt’s family, there was only Xie Yunzhen left.

If something happened to him, Mingzhu didn’t know what she would do.

The taste of being separated from relatives by life and death was too hopeless; she didn’t want to experience such pain again.

"For me, for your soldiers, you can’t act on impulse either."

Mingzhu was born into a military family and understood the soldiers’ aspirations for meritorious service and homeland protection.

They had parents and wives and children behind them...

To send soldiers to the battlefield for private grudges was absolutely unacceptable.

That would be too immature!

Gripping Xie Yunzhen’s hand even harder, Mingzhu wiped her face messily with her sleeve.

Her tone was firm, "You are not allowed to bring personal vendettas and affect judgment."

Xie Yunzhen said, "I will go assassinate in secret."

Mingzhu was about to cry from anger again, "If something happens to you, what will we do?"

Standing on the bed, tightly hugging the man’s neck, "I’ve already lost a child; do you want me to be widowed too?"

Mingzhu didn’t want to cry anymore, but she truly couldn’t hold back.

She didn’t understand why her life was so unfortunate.

The people she cared about were leaving her one by one.

If Xie Yunzhen were gone too... just imagining it made it hard to breathe.

Mingzhu cried like a person made of tears, leaving Xie Yunzhen unable to speak about revenge.

He wanted to wipe her face, but Mingzhu misunderstood his intentions, thinking he still wanted to leave.

Therefore, she as tightly embraced his neck.

"If you dare to act recklessly, I’ll return to the capital so you never see me again!"

Xie Yunzhen sighed, "I won’t act recklessly."

He married Mingzhu with the intention of growing old together.

He wouldn’t joke with his own life.

Mingzhu still didn’t trust Xie Yunzhen, holding him tightly.

Worried she might catch a cold, Xie Yunzhen could only lie down on the bed with Mingzhu.

After months apart, his beloved woman finally lay in his arms again, as Xie Yunzhen stroked her back, waist, long legs...

In his eyes, there was no desire, only heartache.

She had truly endured much hardship; otherwise, how could she be so thin?

Pressing his warm palm against Mingzhu’s belly, Xie Yunzhen asked seriously, "Does it still hurt?"

Mingzhu shook her head, "It hasn’t hurt for a long time."

"Is there anywhere else uncomfortable?"

Mingzhu shook her head again.

During the days at the manor, although she couldn’t go out, there was always someone watching her.

But she had taken much good medicine to heal her body.

Before leaving the manor, the doctor took her pulse and said her body was already well.’

It wouldn’t affect future childbirth.

She didn’t understand at the time, nor did she think deeply.

Only now does she realize she once had a child but unfortunately lost him.

Xie Yunzhen embraced Mingzhu’s waist, lying face to face with her, "When thinking about things, does your head hurt?"

People who have lost memories are sure to be curious about their past.

Xie Yunzhen believed Mingzhu was no exception.

Mingzhu indeed tried to recall past events, but lacking familiar people and environments, her attempts yielded no results.

Gradually, she gave up.

"It doesn’t hurt."

Only then did Xie Yunzhen breathe a sigh of relief.

Her head had been injured, and he didn’t want Mingzhu doing intellectual work.

Placing a devout kiss on her forehead.

Xie Yunzhen said, "It doesn’t matter if you forget; we still have the rest of our life."
